Vitamin E
Antioxidant, free radical fighter that helps boost skin's defense against environmental damage. Encourages skin healing after trauma such as laser treatments and sunburns.
Vitamin C
Vitamin C is the only antioxidant that is proven to stimulate the synthesis of collagen, which is essential since your body's natural collagen production decreases as you age. Sun exposure will also accelerate the decrease in collagen. Studies have shown that vitamin C helps to minimize fine lines, scars, and wrinkles.
It is important to be choosy when selecting a vitamin C product. Vitamin C in its most commonly found forms is highly unstable when exposed to oxygen, making it useless. Also, many topical vitamin C preparations do not penetrate the skin enough to make a difference.

These antioxidants nourish skin and increase cell turnover, encouraging gentle cell exfoliation.
Vitamin K
Important for healing and healthy blood capillary formation
